    Thanks for pi0nting that out. I hadn't realised. I only have cats so i will get that book. I haven't vaccinated my youngest cat but my first one has been. She is the one with health issues that the vet says she is just "medically managing" until I will have to make a decison.

    I live in the Uk and they seem to sell it by weight. I am getting 100g which they say can be anywhere from 750- 1000 worms. Do you think I should get more? I haven't got my chickens yet but will be getting four. Plus, I will be gving some to wild birds. Do you use the single or 3 tier method?

    I'm not a coeliac but I do have some issues with wheat and some other grains. I find I have less to no problems with sourdough so I have learnt to make my own sourdough bread.
